It’s entirely possible that I missed some games, but I’ll say this…this list took me a good 4 hours to put together, therefore, if I missed anything, just let me know and I’ll fact check it just in case. I’m confident, however, in the top 5 and let me tell you, there are some FANTASTIC […]

Comments Off on RPG of the Year – 2009Bioware Does The Waffle Dance Of Doom
March 19th, 2012 Bruce McGee Oh BioWare, you make it so hard to love you some times. It’s like the studio likes being abused by raging, obsessive fan children. Last week they weren’t going to change the end of Mass Effect 3 and the irrational fan rage swarmed like a mob full of village idiots. Now according to CVG, they […]

Medal Of Honor Sequel News
February 23rd, 2012 Bruce McGee I was one of the few who really enjoyed the Medal of Honor reboot. I liked the fact that it didn’t have a traditional story and just dropped you into the daily chaos of a special forces solider. I admit that it wasn’t as spectacular as I had hoped. The originally WWII MOH was one […]
Under the Scope – Stealth in Videogames
February 5th, 2012 gunsage For me, stealth is a very mixed bag. I really appreciate games that allow you to use stealth, but don’t completely shove it down your throat with unnecessary and unforgiving trial and error sequences. The early Splinter Cell games were a perfect example of this in action. It’s very hard to get stealth “right,” especially […]
Minecraft Cribs
February 1st, 2012 Bruce McGee Way back in the early days I did a sad little video series. It was called the minecraft road trip and it consisted of screen shots. What your about to witness is an actual video, Vivian would be proud. I have no clue if it’s better than the old series. I just know it’s not bloody screen […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 5
January 27th, 2012 gunsage Sometimes the mere mentioning that a game had RPG elements was enough to shelf the idea to bring it over. You’re going to see me pulling this excuse a lot because for every Mega Man, Castlevania, TMNT, Mario, Zelda, and whatever title that came out, you’d have a dozen or so RPGs that didn’t quite […]
The Fantastic World Of Japanese Games – Episode 4
January 26th, 2012 gunsage Sometimes a game is deemed “too weird” to come to American soil. This doesn’t happen all the time and usually when it does, it’s for good reason. I mean, I guess so. All three of the games highlighted here definitely have their quirks, but should still definitely have come to America. Sadly, all three are […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 3
January 25th, 2012 gunsage Far too often a game simply won’t be released in America because…well, it’s predecessor failed. Now for me, this is never acceptable, but I do understand. If a game has a huge following in Japan AND it’s an RPG, but it doesn’t really take off in America, they’re more likely to continue the series in […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 2
January 24th, 2012 gunsage When playing Japanese SNES games on an emulator, often there are obvious and not so obvious reasons why a game may not have come out to America. The best way to think about it is was it an RPG, did it have suggestive themes, and did it have any sort of following here in America? […]
